I disagree with this reasoning, my friend. If he paid you back when he was already banned, he knew that paying you back could already help his case, as it has. About $75-100 is what he was making in a week posting on the forum. To me, it seems like a pretty profitable investment to give back about $100 to get unbanned soon and make $100 a week.
In any case, if he is to be given a second chance, I would not be in a hurry to give it to him. It doesn't have to be tomorrow.
This is inaccurate assumption. Even if this user got unbanned, it's likely he'll get signature ban for 1-2 years. Within that time, signature campaign condition may be changed for better/worse and he need to make some activity if he wants accepted easier after signature ban period ended.
Btw icopress did he write you a PM to come to this thread to give your opinion? Because he has written to me, and I doubt I am the only one he has written to. I also doubt if it is even allowed to send these PMs when you have been banned.
FYI, he also PMed me although i have nothing to said since OP already show his past contribution on his forum.
